Rats make surprisingly good companions, but because they’re smart, they can get into a lot of trouble. Where should you look for your pet if he manages to get out of his cage?

Hopefully, he hasn’t gotten far, which means he’s still in the same room that his cage is in. To find out if this is the case, shut the door and leave out a bit of food in the middle of the floor. If it’s gone in the morning, you know where he’s hiding.

Look for quiet corners where he can build a nest. Closets are a popular place with rats that are looking for a place to sleep.

If you can’t find him, place some flour on the floor and he’ll show you with his tracks exactly where he’s hiding! If you need more help, call and ask your veterinarian Diamond Bar, CA for advice. Learn more here.
